Coppersmith Barbet (Megalaima haemacephala indica)
I was at Pasir Ris Park (PRP) earlier today - for the Golden-bellied Gerygone.. after I gotten my shots I later went over to try for improvement shots of the Coppersmith Barbet - I must be one of the very last ones to shoot the barbet..
I found the Coppersmith Barbet parent(s) still there hard at work at the nesting hole - coming back to the hole every so often... and then as I observed and shot the trips to the nesting hole it turned out to be a really really totally surprising but also extremely sad event indeed... cos I saw (and shot) the parent removing their dead chick from the nest... sob sob :"(
May the little one rest in peace and be happy in bird heaven... RIP dear little one...
